Re: Burnley v Aston Villa August 1972

I still find it odd to see footage where the Longside has no perimeter fencing.

Also love the strange little dance that Alan Stevenson always did after he punted the ball up the pitch.

Re: Price if a pint where you live

Either £4 or £5 (depending on ABV) for a cracking pint at my local in Petts Wood (Kent/SE London). Usually at least six ales on the go, with the board changing daily.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned government tax. Pint for pint, petrol is about a third of the cost of beer. Crackers.

I must have been one of the few who wasn't shouting 'Casper Out' at the end of the match, though that was undoubtedly because I left after 60 mins and sat on the coach while the heavens opened.
